As a citizen who is very concerned about our environment and focused on leaving a legacy, being green cleaning certified is very important to me. As I gain more knowledge of the molecular structure of chemicals, their impact on the human body and the environment, the more I am inclined to move away from that structure and migrate to green cleaning.

More importantly the damage to the environment is understated. Chemical runoff has reached the water table and is impacting our health. Harmful products are having a negative impact on the ozone layer. In order to secure our environment for future generations we need  a shift in mindset and a different modus operandi.We need to operate differently.

I have committed to change the way I think, use more green products and become green cleaning certified. Making this shift will allow me to make a contribution to my environment by moving away from the harsh chemicals and using green products as an alternative to traditional products. For example I can use green air freshening options and use green furniture polish. I can buy biodegradable products and participate in more recycling efforts.

These efforts though small, over time will impact the environment and help lower my carbon footprint. Overall this will help product a better world for my children and grandchildren and help to define my legacy. The green cleaning service directory (link included here) is a great resource for providers to be able to connect with other providers in the march towards being certified and working in that space.  Green Cleaning Service Directory.

When you are working in the janitorial industry it is extremely important to know what bloodborne pathogens are and how to protect against contamination.

Knowing the risks, and how to prevent them, will lead to a healthier and safer working environment. It is important to follow OSHA compliant training. 

Employees must always wear PPE (personal protective equipment) while on the job site. This can be in the form of, but not limited to, gloves, gowns and goggles. This is one line of defense against bloodborne pathogens. You must always make sure to be aware of your surroundings and follow protocols on the job site. Never compress trash in trash bags. Always take the trash bag out of the can properly and dispose of it. Pick up sharps with tongs and place them in the sharp container. 

Make hepatitis B vaccinations available to all employees that run the risk of coming into contact with bloodborne pathogens. This would be at no-cost to the employee. Offer on-going OSHA compliant training in this line of work to make sure that everyone is up to date on the correct procedures.

 Creating good habits when encountering bloodborne pathogens can be a matter of life or death. It is important that we have and understand the best practices around the exposure to HIV and HBV. The pathogens can be found in human body fluids and are easily transmitted if handled carelessly. 

There are several ways to protect yourself and the customer when cleaning. Preparing yourself to encounter these pathogens should start with Personal Protective Equipment. PPE supplies come in the form of gloves,  masks, and eye goggles. These items limit exposure to the existing bloodborne pathogens. In addition, disposing of contaminated items such as, needles, swabs, etc. in the proper receptacle is vital to eliminating potential exposure. These containers should be easily identifiable by labeling and color coding. 

Every employee should be provided education on bloodborne pathogens, the PPE to prevent contamination of blood pathogens and the access to testing and treatment if exposed to bloodborne pathogens. This information will keep each employee and customer safe when encountering bloodborne pathogens.
